"US Cybersecurity Lab Suffers Major Data Breach"

A leading US laboratory famed for cybersecurity, nuclear, and clean energy research has recently suffered a major breach of employee data.  Dating back to the 1940s, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is responsible for generating the first usable electricity from nuclear power and developing the first nuclear propulsion systems for nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers.  Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach, affecting the servers supporting its Oracle HCM system, which supports its human resources application.  An unnamed hacktivist group has claimed responsibility for the incident on social media after claiming to have obtained “hundreds of thousands” of data points from the INL.  This reportedly includes dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, and employment information.
